Cage of death
Cops arrest each other
Toughest sporting event in the world
Tuesday, February 3, 2009
Competitors risk cuts, burns, hypothermia and broken bones
Athletes walk on hot coals and climb electric fences
Challenges must sign a "death warrant disclaimer"
Balls-of-steel competitors walked on hot coals, swam through underwater tunnels and climbed through electric fences in the
world's toughest
sporting event.
The Tough Guy 2009 challenge is a
brutal survival race
which saw sportsmen from 25 countries compete in a freezing 9.6km-long cross-country run which featured 21 different obstacles including tunnels and swamps.
The brave challengers risk cuts, burns, hypothermia, broken bones and possibly worse as they make their way across the 61-hectare site at Wolverhampton, in the Midlands, Pomgolia.
The UK's
Daily Mail
reports that competitors must sign a "death warrant disclaimer" before taking part in the ultimate endurance race which organisers claim to be the "safest most dangerous taste of mental physical pain and endurance on earth".
Might be time for the Aussie cricket team to enter a race like this so they can "harden the fk up", as Chopper would say, and win a few matches.

Im an Australian GAP year student from Perth and im teaching at a school in Croydon, London. The school entered as a team with about 20 kids, and me and another 'gappie' decided to do it! Donning my aussie colours as we went round the gruelling course, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It was about -4 outside with windchill bringing that tempertaure further down to about -8. But that wasnt the worst of it, the muddy water was a bone-chilling 2 degrees! It was immense fun and i recommend it to anyone in the area, and im looking forward to replica event being staged somewhere back home in oz. Good fun. Gruelling. But good fun.
Sh*t yeah, I am sick of working for the Government pushing the same old cr$p in the same old corners purely to stop people getting what they deserve when they need it most ... Give me torment, give me hell, so I know I am alive again!!! Besides, I reckon I could flog the poms in this quicker than they can lose the Ashes, and thats quick!
I've done this competition and you definitley have to have balls of steel! I think the Aussie Cricket Team would do well to stay away from this event and take up knitting perhaps?
I reckon that eating fire would be really hot and dangerous! It reminds me of the somersault done on a ride-on ice sled similar to that done with motorbikes by the Crusty Demons.
